After work today i was immediately out putting the new discs on the car. |Were very easy to change. Took about 10 minutes on each side! The old ones were in a state. Callipers wound in fairly easy but probably best to get some more and get them rebuilt just to make sure everything is working.

Never got round to fitting the braided lines at the back so will have a crack at that soon.
Brake setup currently stands as...
- Standard 1.8 Master Cylinder
- Braided lines on the front
- GreenStuff Pads on the front
- Pagid Discs on the front
- Pagid Pads on the rear
- Pagid Discs on the rear
So yep. Get those rear lines fitted and get some refurbed rear calipers. Bleed everything up and should be good. On the track i felt that the brakes were great but on the road they always feel as if they need bleeding. Not sure whether its due to the greenstuffs working well under heat on track but being crap cold on the road. Definitely needs bleeding to be sure though. I've got some genuine pug brake fluid and some nice tubing to bleed them again in the future.
